...Apam Pok Kodok Recipe...

the pok kodok thingy sounds yucky... pardon me!!


heh, menyahut seruan dianakamal here, i pun merajinkan diri untuk share the apam polka dot recipe.. (psstt diana, izy memang tengah rajin ni =P)

ok, you will need

• 3 biji telur
• 1 sudu besar ovalett
• 220g gula kastor (i just use gula biasa but make it lesser . i just put 200g, itu pun dah rasa sangat manis)
• 150ml susu segar 
• 275g tepung gandum (tips: to make it softer, put less flour. For the latest production, i just use 260g - the comment was "wow, it is soft!!! orang tak de gigi pun boleh makan) *another tips - ayak tepung tu dulu, baru betul2 lembut
• 4 sudu besar baking powder (yes, it's true. jangan ingat ini cobaan ye!!)
• 1 sudu besar esen vanilla
• filling yg disukai (optional) - i love raspberry jam big time =) 
• cups - ala cups yang buat cupcakes tu, depends on the size you want. i like the small one. apam nampak cute =P

- with these amounts, you can make more or less 150 little apams

how to do :

1. masukkan kesemua 3 biji telur ke dalam mangkuk pengisar.

2. masukkan ovalett dan gula kastor. pukul sehingga kembang.


3. selepas kembang, masukkan susu segar dan esen vanilla.


4. masukkan tepung sedikit demi sedikit dan pukul sehingga sebati.


5. masukkan baking powder.


6. asingkan kpd beberapa bahagian & tambah pewarna. (i made 4 colours)


7. masukkan sedikit ke dalam cup, letakkan filling (jika mahu) kemudian, masukkan selebihnya 


    sehingga 3/4 cup. buat dot2.


    *nk buat dot2 tu, adunan sikit letak dlm piping bag n dot2 kan atas adunan dlm cup. 


8. kukus sehingga masak (for the small ones, i just steamed for 10 minutes)




tadaaaaa...................

see, it's so easy... of course la, izzy hanya akan buat easy things je =P

alright, selamat mencuba..

p/s: share with me the picture of your apams ye!!

...fruit salad day...

sebab post pasal budak tu appear in front of my eyes every time i click on this blog, so, i have to update as soon as possible so that it don't have to repeatedly remind me of the incident.

i love cooking a.k.a preparing food and i enjoy cooking if and only if i have mood to do so or i HAVE TO cook (like there's no one to cook for me, and i'm alone).. but usually i prefer the first reason. same goes for today, my family from kelantan was here to send apek off to UK and they never tasted my fruit salad, so i made some ( eh some ke??? i buat dua bowls besar). i forced my family to stay awhile and i shot to alamanda to buy the ingredients. the more the merrier, we had ayah man and ayah jik' s family with us. =)

so, i'm more than eager to make them eat my food. by the way, this is the first fruit salad recipe i have learnt ever. it was during my study in Brisbane and we usually had this dish during our gatherings (owww, miss my fellow brisbanians) i also prepared this at SK Tebong..

i couldn't remember who taught me this and where she got the recipe but i hope she allows me to share the recipe here. so, if you want something light and the most importantly EASY (ape-ape yang easy memang i suke) and yummy, you can consider to prepare this for your loved ones (even for your colleagues during potluck)

ingredients

sour cream or fresh/natural yogurt (any brands sure do - but make sure it's halal)

canned fruit cocktail (any canned fruits that you like - i like peaches, pineapples and lychees) make sure to check halal label

sweetened creamer

that all ...... hehehe

how to do it???

1, buka tin (duuhhhhhh....)

2. mix all the fruits into a bowl. (pastikan you put the water away.. maksudnya, tos kan air tu... we just need the fruits not the juice.)

3. put in the sour cream or yogurt into the bowl and mix them. make sure the fruits are coated with the cream

4. then, put some sweetened creamer (secukup rasa, kalau nak manis, letak banyak, kalau nak masam, letak sikit.. but i prefer to make it less sweet)

5. lagi sedap kalau letak dalam peti untuk sejukkan dia..

6. lepas tu boleh makan... =)

senang kan?? memang sangat senang, even i yang malas ni pun larat nak buat.. hehe

siapa yang rasa nak try tu, by all means la...

nak letak gambar tapi internet ni slow la... nanti lah later- later ek?? hehe

inilah kisah saya menyediakan makanan. in my daily life now, i hardly prepare the food because my housemates are wonderful cooks, their cooking are super duper delicious and they love to pamper me with food, so don't expect me to cook much these days. hehehe.. but i may say, i enjoy cooking especially when i want to please loved ones. back in brisbane, i would bake cakes, and cooked ayam percik when we had gatherings. it was okay to not have enough nap/ sleep when i had to cook for them because i love them (chewaahh, pengumuman jujur). i used to bake cupcakes during a junior's birthday and rasanya that was the first and last time so far.. hihi.. xde masa nak buat dah sekarang, ohh, how i long to bake cakes!!

kelakar kan cerita-cerita pasal masak memasak ni, al-maklum la sekarang i hardly cook. bukan malas tapi again, the situation doesn't force me to cook. hehe..

enough enough... got to go.. toodles...

...main masak-masak...

WARNING: Don't read this post if you are fasting. =P

Alhamdulillah just done preparing food for berbuka.. padahal Kak Huda invited us to iftar at hers. But, that's actually the reason why i cooked this evening. yelah, orang berbudi kita berbahasa, orang ajak makan kat rumah dia, kita masak sikit buat buah tangan.. chewaah, peri-tak-reti-bahasa sendiri... tapi of course la i tak masak lauk pauk atau kuih muih, but masakan western. my all-time favourite, lasagna. 

macam pelik pulak bawak buah tangan lasagna instead of kuih lapis, onde-onde, biji nangka, jala mas (list all the very sweet kuih-muih that you know). reason nye buat lasagna ni ialah, i tak berapa reti nak masak kuih muih melayu ni.. erghhh, bocor satu rahsia. 

hehe, tak lah. kuih muih melayu tu tak master lagi. selagi tak master tak leh cakap tak reti kan? kan? 

lagi reason is, my housemate sangat teringin nak makan lasagna i buat plus kak huda pun sangat suka lasagna. after ditimbang tara, lasagna menang.. so alhamdulillah terhasil lah juga lasagna di atas meja ni.. 

tapi xconfident la rasa dia sedap ke tak, sebab tak leh nak try, hopefully rasa dia acceptable la atau lagi sedap dari biasa... ameen3.. kihkihkih

haa, alang- alang dah cerita about lasagna ni, i suddenly remember this friend of mine who kept on asking me the recipe. since she always visit this blog, i'll just share the recipe here, ok? boleh kan, awak? so saya tak yah email awak recipe nye.. hehe

 alright, here it is..

Resepi Lasagna

Bahan2:

Cara2:

1) Sos Merah:

2) Sos putih:

- Panaskan kuali

- Kacau sehingga sos menjadi likat / pekat

- Masukkan cheese & kacau sehingga cheese cair

- Tutup api

 

3) Susun:

    a) Susun lasagna sheets sebagai base (tak rapat pun takpe, because nanti akan kembang)

    b) Tuang satu lapisan sos merah

    c) Kemudian, tuang satu lapisan sos putih di atas sos merah

- Ulang langkah a)-c) sehingga hampir memenuhi bekas (pastikan sos putih sentiasa di atas)

- Kemudian tabur shredded cheese di atas lasagna

 

4) Bakar pada suhu 180, around 30-40mins (sehingga nampak bahagian atas kecoklatan)

senang kan? kan? kan? lagi senang dari tanak nasi, sebab xyah sukat air. hehe

hari ni extra rajin sebab i'm in a very good mood (sebab leh masak makanan favourite) so, i'll put up few pictures of the lasagnas i baked just now.. (sila jangan terliur jika kamu suka) 

nampak tak sedap pun, so jangan la terliur... hehe

lepas masak tadi, layan cerita Singgah Sahur TV3, this time, bertajuk Insan Gelandangan atau pun orang- orang yang hidup di jalanan. beratapkan langit bertikarkan bumi... sedih sih, sahur berbuka tak de makanan, merempat bawah jambatan (aku siap boleh masak lasagna 3 trays lagi) (-_-) sangat menginsafkan. 

alhamdulillah, Allah masih pelihara me and us from going through such hard life. alhamdulillah, your blessings are indeed countless... 

ok peeps, gotta go.. 

Happy Iftar everyone.
